Error description
In ITM 6.3.0 and higher, KFW_AUTHORIZATION_MAX_INVALID_LOGIN does not work. Users who exceed the specified number of failed login attempts are not locked out, and are able to successfully log in to the client. RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Set KDS_VALIDATE_EXT=Y to enable authentication at the hub 2. Set KFW_AUTHORIZATION_MAX_INVALID_LOGIN to some value. For testing purposes, 2 is a good number. 3. Start the TEPS 4. Start a client and attempt to log in with a valid user ID but incorrect password. 5. Repeat step 4 until you exceed the value set for KFW_AUTHORIZATION_MAX_INVALID_LOGIN After the value for KFW_AUTHORIZATION_MAX_INVALID_LOGIN has been exceeded, login attempts still return a login error, instead of the message that the account has been locked out. If the correct password is then used, the user can successfully log in. Approver Initials: RP
